Back in 2014 I found myself pregnant. It was great news of course, but as all first pregnancies does, it turned my life up side down. The care free and flexible life I had lived up until then evolved into a ever continuing routine day; Sleeping, feeding baby, trying to clean the house, feed baby, fall asleep on the couch, feed baby, get something to eat, feed baby.... You get the picture. Just like every other parent, ever.

I was luckily blessed with the Best Kid Ever, and I have never ever for a moment wished my life was different, but being a single mom the mom life sort of never ends. I quickly realized that I needed an outlet, a hobby, to channel all the creativity and spontaneity that have always been my great assets, and find a passion to spend my few minutes of alone time.

One day I found an old amethyst bracelet that I didn't particularly like. I decided to dissect it, and from it made six new bracelets, all a lot prettier than the first. I put them up online, hoping to at least make an extra buck for my little one and our family, and they all pretty much sold out straight away.
I had thought of it as too much fun to be profitable, but that sparked the idea that perhaps I could develop this. I started looking around online for retailers and inspiration, made my first order and suddenly found myself completely engulfed in the craft. LokerinDesign was born.

I started up my Etsy shop in September 2015, but kept it quite low key for the first couple of months, with most of my sales being local and domestic. By January 2016 I decided to start working with my shop for real, and, like my son, every day I grow more and more confident in my craft and in my vision.

Everything in my shop is handmade with love and care, by a loving single mom with the worlds best little boy. I cherish every order personally and will always do my uttermost to make you a piece that you will wear and love for years and years ahead.

I hope that you, when browsing my shop, will find something that you find that very perfect thing for just you. If you don't, let me know and I will gladly make it for you.

Warm regards,
Viola of LokerinDesign
